increased security at airports; increased security in USPS system (increased the costs of sending mail); billions of dollars being spent on so-called war on terrorism in Iraq and actual anti-terrorist activities around the world (increased cooperation among many nations sharing intelligence, etc.); decreased “energy security” (i.e., the mid-east petroleum supply is not secure for western nations because of turmoil in the region; less safe for Americans to travel abroad; increased xenophobia in US and perhaps in other nations;

September 11th still strikes fear into some Americans in that the terror caused by Al-Qaeda still seems to revive every September 11th, because we have a moment of silence to rembember that time.

Also, Americans still have no idea what September 11th really means to them. They are still trying to grasp the true concept of it (such as why we take a moment of silence)
